Business architecture

Description of the business architecture for a method with an architecture repository. A number of business processes and roles are being developed for this purpose. Because working with an architecture repository is a transition to a different working method within the architecture team, the business architecture is therefore an important part to work out in detail. The reason is that a successful enterprise architecture can determine the success or failure of the introduction of an architecture repository.

Business process with an architecture repository

Work process for a repository-based architecture. This includes a number of general steps, such as developing a metamodel for the architecture. It also contains a number of specific matters such as the design of the tooling. This diagram only includes the business process description. Please note that in the example repository a link has been made with other components in the solution architecture. This includes assigning the business roles for these business processes. These are then developed into a number of more detailed diagrams.

Detail business process architecture modeling

In the detail of the business process for architectural modeling, a number of connections are made clear. Which business objects are relevant to this process (in both reading and writing), which roles are involved in this detailed process.

Detail business process architecture modelling automation

When developing and managing the architecture in the models and documents, keeping the repository consistent is a challenge within a repository. With a document-driven approach, keeping things consistent is actually impossible. When working with an architecture repository and using tooling, opportunities arise to automate or largely support, especially iterative, tasks. There are important advantages to be gained for architectural teams. It is therefore recommended that careful consideration be given to which activities can be automated and what requirements there are for the modeling team.

Service orientation

The business process for applications is supported by a service oriented application landscape. There is a logical service for getting a list of applicants and a list of job requests.
